Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't need a membership to validate
The hard work I've put in and the dues I've paid
Never been too good at just goin' along
I guess I've always kind of been for the underdog
[Verse 2]
Favors for friends will get you in and get you far
Shouldn't be about who it is you know
But about how good you are
[Verse 3]
Don't wanna be a part of the good ol' boys club
Cigars and handshakes
Appreciate you, but no thanks
Another gear in a big machine
Don't sound like fun to me
Don't wanna be a part of the good ol' boys club
[Verse 4]
There's a million ways to dream and that's just fine
Oh, but I ain't losin' any sleep at night
And if I end up going down in flames
Well, at least I know I did it my own way
Hey, hey
[Verse 5]
Don't wanna be a part of the good ol' boys club
Cigars and handshakes
Appreciate you, but no thanks
Another gear in a big machine
Don't sound like fun to me
I don't wanna be a part of the good ol' boys club
[Verse 6]
Favors for friends will get you in and they'll get you far
But when did it become about who you know
And not about how good you are?
[Verse 7]
Don't wanna be a part of the good ol' boys club
Cigars and handshakes
Appreciate you, but no thanks
Another gear in a big machine
Don't sound like fun to me
I don't wanna be a part of the good ol' boys club
I don't wanna be a part of your good ol' boys club
